Smulders

Smulders Projects was awarded the contract for the transition pieces for the Gemini offshore wind farm. The transition pieces formed part of the monopile foundation system, providing the structural interface between the driven monopile primary structure and the wind turbine tower, and accommodating key features required for installation and operation. The sources positioned Smulders Projects’ work within the broader Gemini construction supply chain, alongside other major contractors and suppliers engaged to deliver turbines, foundations, substations and cabling. Smulders’ scope was specifically associated with the fabrication and supply of the transition pieces for the turbine foundations, supporting the installation of the Siemens SWT-4.0-130 turbines across Gemini’s two wind park areas (ZeeEnergie and Buitengaats). No contract value or exact award date was stated in the provided extract. The role is therefore recorded as a foundation manufacturing package for monopile transition pieces, delivered as part of the construction phase leading up to offshore installation and commissioning. Smulders’ transition-piece supply complemented the monopile primary-structure supply and the offshore installation works undertaken by the EPC and marine contractors, enabling the foundation system to be completed for each turbine location.
